My washer won't spin. With the unit unplugged should should the transmission pulley be able to turn in both directions freely by hand?

Some washers are different, what is the make and model number of your washer? If it is a top load then more than likely you need a new lid switch.

Maytag washer. model # is LAT9420AAE washer wont spin. With the machine unplugged, should the transmission pully be able to turn 360 degrees freely in both directions when i manually turn it by hand. Right now it will turn 360 degrees in one direction but not in the other. The motor pully spins when when I set the dial to spin. Thank you for your assistance.
